Half-day Backcountry sking in the San Juan Mountains, Colorado

The San Juan mountains in Colorado are a vast and wild mountain range with unbelieveable views and deep powder snow. This is the San Juan Mountains – this is top quality backcountry skiing!

A sub-range of the larger ‘Rockies’ mountain range, the San Juan mountains are seen by many as providing the most stunning and diverse scenery in the Rockies.

Plastered with several 14,000ft volcanoes along with endless lakes, waterfalls and forests, this is an ancient landscape who’s beauty will leave you speachless.

The region only holds one major ski resort, that of Telluride. Therefore you will likely have the San Juan mountains to yourself when backcountry skiing on this terrain!

On this half-day you will have access to a wide array of terrain that is more than enough for even the most enthusiastic backcountry skier.

Given the variety at our fingertips, we can customise our trips and chose our locations depending on your preference and the weather conditions of the moment.

San Juan provides ample deep powder snow, so you can imagine that carving down these mountains whilst weaving in and out of the forest trees is an experience hard to match!

With such a large area to cover and the variety of terrain you could spend a lifetime here and not see everything. Here’s a list of some of the best spots that you can choose between:

Deer Creek, The Pumphouse, Sam’s/Chattanooga, The Backyard, Commodore, Anvil Mountain, Minnehaha, The Cemetary, U.S. Basin / MacMillan Peak, West Face of Red.
